PG quotes
PG TAB NAMES IN GATHER
Keep the programme part of the page/tab name short enough that the loaders can see which tab it is in the left hand menu.
e.g. Applied Finance - Apply (not Master of Applied Finance - Apply)
LINKS
Put square brackets around the text you want as link text and the URL
[link text URL]
e.g. Find out about [how to make toast http://www.jamieshomecookingskills.com/recipe.php?title=how-to-make-toast]
Try to put links at the end of blocks (or paragraphs/sentences if you can't get it at the end of the block)

Stand alone quotes (where you have a job title)
The programme has been extremely valuable. It transformed my ideas about the roles Information Managers can have.

AT-A-GLANCE SUMMARY CARDS
The content for these is on Paul's Requirements of PG programmes pages, except the "essence statements”, which we write and record in the Programme name and intro text field on the Requirements tab.
VIDEOS
All videos need titles. Only use a caption if you think it's needed to explain further. Keep them short and avoid using questions. Only use the name in the caption.
Use these kinds of titles as a guide:
Researching at Victoria’s Marine lab
Building games with industry experts
Studying where New Zealand law is made
Using IT to innovate
Caption - Professor Benoit Aubert, Head of School of Information Management, says organisational culture is the most important thing to enable innovation.
...
Remember to check whether the person has more than one staff profile and use the best one. Peter, for example, has a second that is empty except for contact details, despite it being the 'high' position.
...
Use caps when you are referring to anything which is an area of study or a subject. Use lower case when you are referring to the noun in a general sense. It's true that sometimes it's not that clear which you are doing - in this case just use your best judgement!
eg
Geophysics explores the atmosphere and the ground beneath our feet—combining maths and physics with the outdoors. You'll get a solid grounding in the basics of Earth Sciences, Maths and Physics, and then choose to focus on either Meteorology or Solid Earth.
If you want to learn about the Earth and how it works, while working outdoors and honing your skills in maths and physics, Geophysics—Solid Earth is a good choice for you.
FUN FACTS - SOURCES
- We name sources for fun facts except those that don’t need it (eg the number of minutes it takes to walk somewhere)
- We include the date
- If there is a suitable site to link to, we just name the organisation the fact came from and then link to the page (or a pdf if necessary)
- If there is not a website, we include just the name of the organisation and the year, or the publication as per APA style eg Tourism NZ, 2015, Tourism in Aotearoa Today (there will be very few if any of these)

I’ve had a chat to Tash about this and then Alida. I think you just carry on as you are and don’t reference the ranking except in fun facts. We haven’t done so in the past on the website re body copy and that information is there to find if people want to look for it. I also don’t think adding PBRF (or in full) adds a lot of value, as most people have no clue what this is either way (especially our main audience of school leavers).
